According to the Congressional Record, there was no mention of Osama Bin Laden during the Iran-Contra hearings by Oliver North or anyone else. In fact, there was no mention of Osama Bin Laden in the Congressional Record at all in 1987, the year of the hearings.
One of the charges against North at that time, however, was his accepting a security system for his home as a gift. He said he needed it because of threats against himself and his family by Palestinian terrorist Abu Nidal.

Conversely, a decade after this "statement" was supposedly made by North, Osama was an ally of the US, in his fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan.

Looks like my answers usually do. That's why I don't post them.
I thought she did pretty well. :cool: In case you didn't know this, Princess Fiona and I use red for the ones we got correct, not for the ones we got wrong.

Keep giving it a try! I do horribly most of the time, but I love trivia.

:ohmy: Oh.:ROFLMAO:

I do them every day, I really suck, so I don't post my answers. These are HARD. I do better at Jeopardy.
 
Some days I know as soon as I see the questions that I don't even need to bother! He covers a pretty good variety of topics though, so sometimes I do pretty well. I'm rarely as good as Alix or Princess Fiona!

Now I'm blushing! You do great at dates, Barbara, I am miserable at them. I have so much trivia in my head, I'm surprised I remember my own name!:LOL:

And Sally, I'm a garbage brain, I knows lots but am Master of none.:ermm:

I'm not very good at dates! I'm not too bad at Geography and History, but only in certain times/places. I definitely have a ton of useless stuff in my head, and like you said, I am a master of none. :rolleyes:
